Yes, I'm descended from brother George. Quite intrigued by the ability of family to move between Kirriemuir and Edinburgh, but the relatively unusual christian names really does help on that one - where Hanby comes from I just don't know.

I'm from Kirriemuir, now live 2 miles from Bristo in Edinburgh where they were living and working.

it is
2nd  |   Jo: [John] Sutherland at burnmouth of Kintyrie had a son Sylvester bapt: [baptised]

I've checked early Ordnance Survey maps and this seems to be correct as I found Kintyrie and Burnmouth located very near to each other but no place actually called 'Burnmouth of Kintyrie'. I had to stich two OS maps together for the image below but here's the link to the Kintyrie part.

Yes, that's right. The landscape aorund that area will have changed a bit in the 18th century with variosu enclosures and improvements - likely the places also changed.

This is from Ainslie's 1794 map of ANgus
